FUNCTION::USER_UINT16(3stap)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

function::user_uint16 β€” bestie, this one grabs an unsigned 16-bit integer value that's chillin' in user space 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

user_uint16:long(addr:long)

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • addr β€” the user space address you wanna pull that unsigned 16-bit integer out of, no cap πŸ“

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the vibe: you hand it an address, it hands you back the unsigned 16-bit integer value sitting at that given user space address. that's it, that's the whole job, and it ate πŸ’…

and if the user space data isn't accessible? it just returns zero. no drama, no crash, just a lil zero. lowkey iconic of it honestly πŸ™ˆ

fr fr tho β€” zero is also what you get back when things go wrong, so don't go reading tea leaves into a 0, bestie 😭
